Here is Powell explaining why he endorses Obama.
Asked if he was still a Republican, Powell said he still claimed the GOP as his political home. "Yes I think I'm a Republican of a more moderate mold, and that's something of a dying breed, I'm sorry to say."

IMO Powell has a personal axe to grind, he wasnt embraced by the Party after his stint as SOS,just like Wesley Clark they were two generals that probably should have stayed out of politics, the times have changed, you will probably never see another DDE because any former general will always be perceived as a hawk. Powell endorsing BHO wont change peoples minds, if anything it makes him more of a pariah,he may consider himself an R, but the Party has left him and vice versa...non factor

& that would be what - wasn't he SoS for 4 years, which in my mind would be more than enough time to implement some meaningful change . Talks cheap, when you have the ability to make change & do not, it's only talk!!!!!!!!!!

How about he was setup by Cheney and Rumsfeld to present bogus intelligence to the UN on Iraq's WND's!
